Philosophy
Truly. Alert.
Vollmer is an owner-run company that has been synonymous with premium coffee culture for 80 years. We are the flexible specialist of choice for top-quality solutions brought about by joining forces with customers from the out-of-home market.
There is always plenty to do – which is why our group photo only shows a small selection of our colleagues from Sales, Roasting, Material Planning, Purchasing and Quality Assurance. Our company is just the right size to ensure certified craftsmanship of a consistently high quality.
A truly alert team
Truly. Alert. – This is our company philosophy in a nutshell. After all, we are neither a multinational company with a fixed range of industry-quality products nor a tiny cult roastery that cannot guarantee certified quality in the long run. We believe that our company is just the right size. One that guarantees consistently excellent quality and craftsmanship with Fairtrade and organic certification. Having the right company size affords us maximum flexibility when it comes to individual roast blends and packaging concepts that we prepare every day for our customers in bakeries, hotels and food services.

Artisanal quality at a consistently high level
Our quality assurance specialists and master roasters insist on using the best coffee types and on giving our coffee beans an all-important luxury: as much time as they need. Gentle drum roasting and subsequent air cooling allows us to minimise the bitter constituents in our coffee beans.
Good coffee is close at hand
We set great store by having our customers and colleagues within easy reach. And knowing that we are all well versed in our respective fields. Purchasing, Sales, Quality Assurance, Roastery, Management – Production and all of our offices are just a few steps along the corridor. Our customers benefit from this direct set-up and from the individual solutions that it brings.
Owner-run commitment
After taking an indirect route to the coffee sector, Matthias Peters has been with our company for over 30 years, over which time he has honed his broad expertise in the field of coffee. In the 1990s, having worked in the company for many years, he took it over from the founding family and, together with his team, continued the tradition and love of good coffee.
